The | The ''Persian Gate'' rendezvoused with the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} near [[Chi Ceti IV]] in late November of [[2525]].{{Ref/Reuse|HCD1}} A complement of [[Spartan-II]]s were transferred to the ''Persian Gate'', along with Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]. It held orbit over the planet while a funeral service for the recently-deceased [[Sam-034]] was held and then entered [[slipspace]]. Two days later, on December 3, Lieutenant Commander [[Yao]] briefed the four [[Spartans]] selected for [[Blue Team]] on the ongoing attack of [[Alpha Corvi II]] by the [[Covenant]] and their mission to provide its defenders with relief.<ref name="HCD1">''[[Halo: Collateral Damage]]'', ''[[Halo: Collateral Damage Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref> | ||
During the battle in orbit, the ''Persian Gate'' fought a desperate defense against the Covenant, and suffered only moderate damage even as the rest of the armada was quickly falling to the enemy. The ''Persian Gate'' continued to monitor the situation on the surface even as the battle in space was quickly written off as a lost cause, and so Commander Yao immediately initiated evacuation for the UNSC forces below with the intent to abandon the Alpha Corvi system once this effort had been completed. | |||
Upon the mission's completion, ''Persian Gate'' moved in with the rest of the UNSC fleet to retrieve Blue Team, deploying Pelican dropship ''[[Tango 807]]'' to the surface while the remaining UNSC warships fought a holding action against the advancing Covenant. ''Tango 807'' retrieved the Spartans, returning to the ''Persian Gate'' but abandoning the surviving URF fighters against [[John-117]]'s protests. The ''Persian Gate'' then fled into [[slipspace]] as the Covenant opened fire on the UNSC fleet. | Upon the mission's completion, ''Persian Gate'' moved in with the rest of the UNSC fleet to retrieve Blue Team, deploying Pelican dropship ''[[Tango 807]]'' to the surface while the remaining UNSC warships fought a holding action against the advancing Covenant.
